Amazing people who looked after my mum... thank you 😊

Alison Bates 11th Jan 2026

The whole family would like to thank T. J. Parry Funeral Directors for the exceptional service that we received while you guided us through the sad but necessary process of arranging Joan’s funeral. It is always difficult to deal with the loss and grief at this time, but it was made so much easier by your meticulous attention to detail and compassionate approach, in particular with our many contacts with Kirsty. The calm professionalism of your staff was evident throughout the morning of the funeral and on this emotional occasion it was reassuring to know that we were in your very capable hands. The funeral service was dignified and beautiful, with you in quiet control, a comment that was reiterated by many of those who attended. Thank you once again for your service.

Edwin Mansfield 9th Jan 2026

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your kindness and support during this sad time and making it so much easier for us. Please pass on our sincere thanks also to James Pugh for his lovely eulogy. Thanks again. Edwin, Harold, Cliff and family’s.

  • 5 Phil Avery 4th Jan 2026

    Having known Tim for many years, I had no hesitation in contacting him to look after mum's funeral, he is kind, compassionate, thoroughly professional from start to finish, nothing is to much trouble and a credit to his profession.

  • 5 Julian Woodford 2nd Jan 2026

    Tim and his team handled my mother's funeral arrangements with sensitivity and professionalism. We were hugely impressed by them throughout the whole process and are deeply grateful for the caring and thoughtful way they managed us through a very difficult and sad few weeks.

  • 5 Pamela Gough 29th Dec 2025

    Can 100% recommend this small family firm. They sorted everything out, there was never any hesitation when I contacted them with a query or had changed my mind about something. Tim rang me the evening before to reassure me and on the day of the funeral he explained in detail everything that was going to happen. The flowers they ordered from Philips were beautiful and the Order of Service was just what I wanted, very impressive. Tim even made sure he kept 4 Orders of Service back for me to pass onto folk unable to attend. The small momentos of the Order of Service were a very thoughtful gift. Thanks also to Kirsty who was always so calm and reassuring, in fact all the staff were too. To summarise, everyone at T J Parry were so very kind, helpful and also professional.
    Thank you all for making the funeral of my dearly loved husband Terry more bearable.

    T J Parry Funeral Directors replied

    Very supportive and helpful. Kirsty was/is exceptional, she  went through everything with us and explained everything in detail.

    From the first meeting with Tim, we felt heard, understood and respected. Anything we hoped for was possible. Calm consideration was given, constant, but not overwhelming, courtesy calls and so supportive on the day of the cremation and thanksgiving. I cannot thank them enough. They made a tough time more than manageable.

    As a family we would like to wholeheartedly thank Tim and all his team for helping us say goodbye to David in the way that he wanted. For their professionalism, care and attention to the smallest detail - nothing was too much trouble. They made the whole process - from the initial phone call to collecting his ashes - bearable at such an emotional time. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to any family wanting to say farewell to their loved one.

  • 5 Jacqui Maw 22nd Nov 2025

    We entrusted Tim and his team with our mum’s funeral and we are so grateful for everything they did for us. Every detail was handled with such care and was as beautiful and perfect as it could possibly be. Mum’s basket, the flowers, the visual tribute, the car, and the way she was treated with such respect and honour meant more to us than we can put into words.
    Tim’s professionalism, compassion, and guidance made an incredibly difficult time feel much more manageable. From start to finish we felt fully supported and we truly appreciate everything they did.
